A barnstar for you

		The Species Conservation Award
		Awarded in appreciation for your work on Echo parakeet, bringing it to Featured Article status in 2019. I stumbled on the article while researching animals that recovered from the brink of extinction. Made me happy to find others that care as well. Noleander (talk) 23:47, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Yeah, that's one of the less depressing articles I've worked on, might do more like it. FunkMonk (talk) 02:12, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

Good article nominations RfC

Hi FunkMonk,

There is an ongoing Request for Comment (RfC) at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/August 2026 RfC, which you may be interested in because in the past year, you have nominated or reviewed more than one good article nomination. This message has also been sent to all subscribers to the Good Article Gazette. The RfC contains many proposals (33 at the time of writing), which are split into the following categories: nominators, reviewers, reviews, volunteer roles, reviewing initiatives, and others. However, you are more than welcome to add any proposals of your own that you wish to put to the community.

By the end of September, all the proposals will have been closed by an uninvolved editor, either as a consensus for one of the options or with no consensus. At this point, editors will be invited again to develop these proposals into coherent policy and implement them.

Thank you for your contributions to the good articles project, and I look forward to your input! (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 16:02, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Echinodon

Hello, I want to mention that I found two more dinosaur GAs without restorations. One of them is Echinodon, which I put because your reconstruction depicts it getting eaten, and what I was requesting was a proper life restoration of a living individual.

My apologies if this is an issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-43239-79 (talk) 19:42, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

That sounds fine, it's similar to the Zephyrosaurus situation. FunkMonk (talk) 20:08, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

Understood. My problem was, I was describing your reconstruction, which I felt like might have been a little annoying. ~2026-43239-79 (talk) 20:45, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

But yeah, I think a reconstruction of a living Echinodon individual is necessary, given its GA status. ~2026-43239-79 (talk) 20:46, 13 August 2026 (UTC)
